Summary & Background: Fulton County provides water distribution services to four cities North of the Chattahoochee River, consisting of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, and Roswell. Residential, and commercial water meters are read by an on-site contractor who records the readings and provides the data to the Finance Department to send out bills to the customers.
Scope of Work: The contractor provides daily water meter readings and completion of field service orders for the water distribution system in the North Fulton County Service Area. In order to accurately bill and collect funds for the water used and sewage treated, the quantity of water used by customers of the North Fulton County Water System is continuously metered. Water meters are read on a monthly or bi-monthly basis to determine the quantity of water used and associated charges to be billed. The contractor will be required to complete approximately 2,000 meter reads per workday, as assigned by the Departments of Public Works and Finance.
With the upcoming deployment of the AMI water meter system and network, manual water metering will become less necessary. However, until that point, Fulton County will need to continue utilizing the services of the meter reading contractor.
Community Impact: Without accurate meter reading, the Public Works and Finance Departments will not able to ensure timely and accurate collection of fees for delivery of water service.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Public Works recommends approval.
Project Implications: Billing and collections will be severely impacted if these services are not provided.
Community Issues/Concerns: Public Works is not aware of any Community Issues or concerns.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Departments of Public Works has no issues or concerns.
